Spring Hill’s Peter Jenkins connector is a project to follow, not a route to assume open
The city’s project page explains the grant and design process but does not establish a construction date.

A line on a proposed greenway map can be exciting without yet being a path under your feet. Spring Hill’s Peter Jenkins Greenway Connector page describes a planned connection supported by a Tennessee Department of Transportation grant, while stating that a construction date has not been established.
The city says two earlier greenway sections were completed in 2012. Its connector update records a Transportation Alternatives Program grant received in 2023 and explains that final design still needs completion and TDOT approval. The important distinction for someone planning a walk is between existing sections and the proposed connection shown in the project graphic.

Read a project map with a practical question in mind: which gap is this intended to close, and how would that change an ordinary trip? A future link may matter to a school journey or neighborhood walk, but those possibilities should not be turned into a promise of current public access.
Use the city’s project page for updates, and follow the paths, signs and permissions that exist on site today. If asking the city about progress, refer to the connector by name and ask about the next design or construction milestone. That produces a more useful answer than treating an old plan as a finished route.
